Dimmer Switch

[curium]

I would like some spot lights connected to a dimmer switch installed in my hallway. The hallway switch is a 2-gang 2 way switch to allow control of the upstairs landing lights and downstairs hallway lights from either floor.

The spots are Aurora EFD Pro GU10 with 5W 4000K dimmable bulbs.

I originally asked the spark to quote for MK switches simply because I know someone who had all sorts of problems after they had a dimmer switch installed and it turned out to be due to the screw fix switch that was installed.

My spark tells me that a 2-gang MK dimmer switch is £80 each! Is there another reliable brand I can look at that is not so hard on the pocket?

Cheers

I have found GU10 lamps are hit and miss, some work OK with my smart switches, some do not, in the main I use smart bulbs instead.

We got a three lamp GU10 unit from Lidi, it came with smart bulbs and a remote control, it did need a zigbee hub, but it was so easy to use those bulbs, no wiring just plugged them into my existing lamp. And actually used the remote on another set of bulbs.

There was another recent thread on this problem of lamp and dimmer compatibility.
